Description

This group is a forum for Reed-Prentice enthusiasts that will hopefully help all Reed-Prentice owners and users to get the most out of their machines, share their machining projects, problems, and solutions and also make friends across the globe. Reed-Prentice lathes represent what I consider to be some of the finest manual lathes ever made. I can’t speak to their other machines as I have never owned or used one but hopefully others will join the group and share their knowledge. Starting this group was not my idea but rather the idea of the wife of another Reed-Prentice enthusiast who I met over the Internet. All are welcome to join who have an interest in Reed-Prentice and other metal working machines. This is my first group so please be patient with me as I try and figure out how to moderate and prevent Spam.

Thanks

Jeff

What year is this lathe?
I've read the past posts in search of a way of determining the age of my 16" RP. Near as I can guess, by the serial number (23339), it may be sometime in
